Description

When browsing large YouTube playlists, manually scrolling through hundreds of videos to find a specific one can be tedious. Adding a search/filter input at the top of the playlist would dynamically filter videos based on the user’s query (e.g., matching video titles).

Expected Behavior

  • A search field appears at the top of the playlist sidebar or video list.
  • As the user types, the playlist dynamically filters to show only videos whose titles match the query.
  • The search is case-insensitive and updates in real time.

Benefits

  • Makes large playlists easier to navigate.
  • Saves time for users locating specific content.
  • Improves the overall user experience on YouTube.

Possible Implementation

  • Inject a search input field into the playlist UI using JavaScript.
  • Attach an event listener to capture user input.
  • Filter the playlist items (DOM elements) based on whether their titles match the input text.
